Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very nice location. Close to the beach and downtown.
Overall everything was great. Just a heads up to note which is not noted in the Vrbo contract, there is an expectation for you to strip the bed and start the load of sheets and pillow cases. Not a big deal, just give yourself extra time if you have a plane to catch;-). Location is great. Walking distance to the beach and all shops downtown. Our hosts were always available and easy to work with! Recommend this place to any couple.
